Everyday athlete with Luis C. Villalobos: 'Keep moving,' no matter the age

Name: Luis C. Villalobos

Age: 65

Where I live: Near the No. 4 tee-box at Vista Hills Country Club, par 4, 356 yards. I always bogey that hole, though.

My fitness routine: I'm not a fitness freak but I never deviate Monday through Friday -- one hour to an hour and a half (if I have energy) of weights (pecs, abs, quads, biceps, triceps, deltoids, calves, lunges); one hour swimming (breast stroke, jog in water, free-style, but don't stop).

How I eat: Sorry to disappoint you here, but I have a nice smoothie in the morning. Then, gee, if you put it in front of my face, I'll eat it. I'm working on my pancita (stomach). I try to shy away from sugar, fried stuff and white bread, but love tripas. I eat anything but in smaller portions, except for tripas.

Words of wisdom: After running for 25 years and six marathons, a miniscus injury slowed me down to an achy trot. But we have to deal with what life gives us. Keep moving; they can't hit a moving target.
